These people are not fools. Although they usually dare not say it, they must have some ideas in their hearts. They don't understand the general principles, but it is naturally clear who does more work and who does less work.
The situation that the Tang Dynasty is today was almost all created bit by bit by His Majesty and His Royal Highness King Qin. Instead of making any achievements, the princes of the clan just sat back and enjoyed the results. Although the people of the world do not say it, it does not mean that they do not understand this truth.
Now it seems that these princes of the clan are not really useless, and now they know how to share the worries for His Majesty and His Highness.
This is a good thing, our Datang seems to be a sign of great prosperity! This is a good thing, a good thing!
All the people are naturally happy to hear and see it.
For a time, there was a lot of discussion, and almost everyone was discussing this matter, and Li Ke had already secretly ordered that these things were not allowed to prevent the people from discussing, as long as they did not deliberately spread rumors and slander the clan. In fact, these people I don’t dare to do this either.
Of course, remote areas are also organized privately, but it doesn't matter.
It is better to defend the mouth of the people than to defend the river. It’s not that the Tang court didn’t understand this truth. In fact, even without Li Ke, if the people of Chang’an discussed the emperor and the royal family every day, it wouldn’t be a big problem. Again, as long as it’s not a random arrangement of words, it wouldn’t be a big problem.
Datang was not strict in this regard.
Naturally, these rumors and discussions in the market and among the people quickly spread to the ears of wealthy families and court officials, and they have all learned about it now.
Although they cannot sum up some things, or they are limited by the times, their ability to draw inferences from one example is not weak at all. After Li Ke used the people of Chang'an City to play a public opinion war for them, no one from the wealthy family or the court officials looked down upon these public opinions.
Many aristocratic families have hired special personnel to inquire about these rumors and then sort them out after returning to avoid rumors that they cannot handle.
If there are signs of similar rumors, this way they can discover it as soon as possible and start dealing with it, so that they will not be left behind in everything like they were at the beginning.
They don't dare to do things that threaten public opinion. After all, anyone who dares to touch this thing will be beheaded. No one dares to do this, but they want to know the news in advance. This can still be done.
And these rumors and news among the people also made these wealthy families and court ministers think deeply.
It turns out... His Highness has already seen so far!
In the past, let alone the reputation of His Majesty and His Highness, among the common people, among the people of Chang'an, who dared to speak of Your Majesty? Well, His Majesty was not counted. No one dared to speak of it in the first place.
Anyone who dares to speak ill of His Highness will probably be beaten to death by the people on the spot.
But the reputations of other royal families or clan members are just like that, and now His Highness’s move is simply the best in the world!
As expected, His Highness was the one who manipulated all the ministers in the court. He was truly a genius in this regard. His Highness has foreseen the plummeting reputation of the clan in the future. Now with this move, the reputation of the clan has been completely reversed in an instant. Instead, it has gained a huge reputation among the people all over the world.
By extension, reputation is something that is afraid of comparison. If the reputation of the royal family and clan increases sharply, the reputation of other wealthy families that are compared will fall! This once again weakened their reputation and influence among the people... They are simply... really gods!
It's really a success! As expected of His Highness who is accustomed to counting wins! High, indeed high!
The heads of these wealthy and aristocratic families are all impressed! It was indeed the right thing for them not to go against His Highness. Otherwise, the Tang army would not have to take action. This reputation alone would be enough to make them infamy for thousands of years.
If His Highness is willing, without even using the Tang Dynasty's army to take action, at least with a little use of means, the people near each of their families may be able to gather together and beat them all to death! At that time, no one in the world dared to overturn their verdict, and no one dared to speak for them.
Because this is public opinion! The law does not hold everyone accountable!
Sometimes, if you want you to die, you may still live. But if the people of this world want you to die, then you really have to die!
In addition to admiration, each family began to be vigilant again to see if there was anything they had not done well, and to see if His Highness King Qin had made some opinions that they did not agree with.
Also, should I donate some money to start building roads, bridges, and schools in the local area, so as to gain some prestige in the neighborhood? If any unfilial descendants do something wrong in the future, these reputations will prevent them from being directly wiped out.
While these aristocratic families and court ministers were pondering or making their own changes because of these rumors, the Tang clan who made these decisions were somewhat delighted to discover, eh? Is our reputation suddenly so high?
Li Yuanchang has been a little distracted in the past two days. He must have been affected to some extent by making this decision. Although he may not regret it, but if you want to say how happy he is, he certainly won't.
But just when Li Yuanchang had nothing to do at night and was about to go shopping in Datang's Sleepless City, something happened that shocked him.
He didn't even know how the people on the street recognized him. Many people dressed in ordinary clothes suddenly saluted him on the street and shouted to him in a very respectful voice: "I have met the Seventh Prince! My lord, I really admire your courage!"
Li Yuanchang responded with a confused look at first, but his words soon attracted the attention of the people around him. Then the people of the Tang Dynasty who heard this incident all saluted him.
This made Li Yuanchang, who usually didn't take these people seriously, felt that these people were so nice! Everyone talks so nicely! Li Yuanchang was indeed right to give up his title for them!
The compliments these people paid him made Li Yuanchang's head spin. People were so respectful to him and spoke nicely. Li Yuanchang was naturally in a good mood and started to return the favor politely.
This time he returned the gift, another series of compliments came from the people around him.
Words such as "The Seventh Prince is really generous and treats the common people like us so politely." "The Seventh Prince is worthy of giving up his title for the people of the world. He is so kind to me." "The Seventh Prince is a natural talent."
Li Yuanchang blushed a little when he heard this.
In the end, Li Yuanchang was praised all the way to the brothel in the Everlasting City of the Tang Dynasty, and then entered the brothel. He spoke with admiration.
Even the brothel oiran's smile became much more sincere towards him, and the entire brothel became much more enthusiastic towards him.
In the end, when he stayed overnight in Goulan, the little lady in Goulan didn't even charge! He prostituted himself for nothing!
The moment he woke up on the second day, Li Yuanchang realized! I did the damn right thing! No, I have to go around the streets of Chang'an City a few more times today. If it weren't for the fact that sleeping on the streets would be disrespectful, he would have wanted to move to Chang'an Avenue.
